@@UPnDOWN that’s very cheap to tax for a ULEZ compliant little run about. Our registration fees (aka road tax) is the same amount for all light cars as we go by weight. Up to 4.5t they charge $900 Australian or about £465 per year. Over 4.5t they charge a different amount. Also we can’t do monthly payment they only let us do quarterly payment if we opt in. Which is about £105 each time.
I know you're joking about the number plate screw caps being skilled work, but the amount of mechanics that mess up plate fitting for new cars must be near universal
You should, as you're generally not visible from the driver's seat while doing this job. What if a "prankster" gets in, and starts it in reverse? It's accounting for the stupidity of others.
I remember back in the day buying a set of XR2 seats from a scrapyard. They looked like they had been piled up with oily engine bits but the scrapyard assured me they would clean them up if I left a deposit. I went back a few days later to collect them and they looked brand new!
The other day I saw a 1.1 with a carb, and the carb version has a straight pipe without the restriction, so maybe there's your new pipe, OEM from factory 👀
For the grease stain on the rear seat, try a product called "Elbow Grease". It's magic for degreasing. Basically as good as brake cleaner, but is a water solution spray which doesn't seem to damage fabrics. "Elbow Grease" is also brilliant for degreasing engine blocks! By the way I bought a Mazda MX-5 once, which was making (I was certain) a noise consistent with a bad rear wheel bearing. I limped it home because it got worse as I drove home. I immediately ordered a new wheel bearing, only to discover when starting the job that the rear wheel nuts were all loose and the rear wheel was about to fall off. The car had a new MOT. This was five years ago. The car is long gone, but I still have the new bearing!
When I get a car I always loosen and torque up all the wheel nuts / bolts. They are usually initially too tight so it means I know I can loosen them at the side of the road when needed. On the other hand, they may be too loose but it will fix that too!

Such a cheeky looking little scamp (the car that is). Very reminiscent of the 205, which is a very good thing. I wore my hi-vis hoody for the reg plate screw cap change, just in case. Better safe than sorry. Maybe do a 0-62 test? Without a BX in tow this time. With and without restrictor.
Do you have access to a long enough straight to film an elk test ... Probably more interesting with an Activa, but a sampler in a 106 might be good for a laugh ... Auto Shenanigans might have the ability to part fund, and a comparison with a Saab (and perhaps Hubnut in his 2CV!) would be great to watch!
When I helped setting up gigs for bands in the late 80s / early 90s at a uni in Manchester, the stock PA tester was Blue Monday by New Order - given multi kilowatt amps and an empty venue, it was quite a moving track! Probably have to get a licence (which would reduce the savings) ... so maybe best to test offline and report back how quickly the speakers melted!

I love how you got a free car. There is no such thing as a free car in the land down under. Even if we have been given a car for free supposedly. In Victoria Australia we still have to pay motor vehicle duty to Vicroads (Aka DVLA) road tax & A fresh MOT.

Always Better to get an older car & keep it going who wants to spend thousands of £ when you can get a really good runabout for cheap.
I suppose it's relative, though - £400 is equivilent of free there? In fact, when I'm done with Dumpit, maybe I should offer it for free to someone in NZ or Aus? They just have to get it there.
@@UPnDOWN my problem is that our equivalent of the DVLA charge us fees for everything.
